Launched my boat at 6 am , it was calm ,cold and beautiful on the lake although quite dark, I motored over to the island and drank a cup of joe waiting for the sun to come up . It got light enough to start trolling about 6:50 of so . Got 2 small taps on the pole before the fog rolled in , it got pretty thick for a bit , it was a good thing there were so many crows on the island I used the noise to navigate in the cove . With the fog came the bite , I hooked up with 8 nice fish and managed to get 3 that accepted my invitation for dinner , I also had between 10 and 15 solid hits that just didn't get stuck. Which amazes me is how they can hit the lure steal the worm and not get stuck , I get stuck with the darn things just by looking at them . When the fog lifted the bite slowed down but was still there , I had several more hook ups and several controlled releases ( they hit the net and spit the lure ) . The wind picked up around 11:30 and my boat was getting hard to control and maintain speed . I left the lake about 1:00 It was a great day for fishing

Are the fish still 11-13" with the occasional 14-16"? Rowing or electric power?

I've always wanted to hit Green Lake in my small raft. Are electric power motors legal or just rowing?

I've looked into this before and talked to the green lake parks and recreation director about using electric motors in green lake and she said "No,they are not allowed". I even went into saying they don't make noise or create a wake so why are they not allowed, she said "if we let one person use them everyone will want to do it". I called about this only because the crew guy in the motor boat mentioned to us one day " you should put a electric motor on that". That was a two years ago so maybe its changed. That would be awesome if it did!

If they were banned I would think there would be signage posted around the lake. Nothing in the regs about it. I could find nothing at the Seattle Parks web site: http://www.seattle.gov/parks/park_detail.asp?ID=307

I have called Wa dept of fish and game they sent me me to king county parks dept, ,they sent me to Seattle parks where I talked to the director He stated that electric motors are allowed on Green Lake The person in charge of the boat house can answer all questions his name is Jason Frisk I have his number and the numbers and names of who I talked to if any want it to check on it . the only peps that don t want any motors on the lake are the rowers they don t like us on the lake when they are practicing

Anyone know when they start stocking the Lakes for Opening Day and other times for fishing the lakes in our region?
